@titanium84 just leave the line on the spool and bring the spool through the loop then take off how ever much line you need off the spool when your done tying the knot

Great video. I was tired of using swivels with my spinning reel when I had to attach a leader. Now I use the surgeons knot which works great. No slipping knots!

Titanium - leave the one side on the spool; allow a bigger loop and you can loop the spool through the bigger loop.
